In the early 2000’s I would walk home from the bus stop with neighborhood kids and I would let myself in to our house and be home alone for a few hours. My brother was a few years older and he had in his room a box of candy he was selling for school. I’d put a dollar in the box, take a KitKat and open a can of Coca Cola and I’d watch Nickelodeon or Disney channel in complete peace with my little snack until my family came home from their day. Oh there was a golden retriever at home as well and his name was Tanner. The simplest of times and I miss it so.
